The last temptation of Christ

Description

"A searing, soaring, shocking novel," declared Time magazine upon the first appearance of this extraordinary work of fiction. Its theme is challenging- to some sacrilegious: the portrayal of a Christ who is as much man as God torn between the demands of the spirit and the flesh, both blessed and burdened bu his own Divinity. Writing in prose of near-hallucinogenic intensity, Nikos Kazantzaksi has created a dazzling mosiac of life in Biblical Palestine, and an unforgettable depiction of the anguish and the glory of and of a tortured, ultimately triumphant Savior. Here in full flood is the overwhelming vitalityand the life-giving imaginative force of a novelist who has taken his place as, in the words of The Saturday Review, "One of the great artists of this century!"
